Pic is a negative pickup for Sony and marks Polone’s first feature project at the studio since he inked a first-look deal there for film and TV in April.

The psychological thriller concerns an idyllic town whose population of 436 has remained unchanged for 100 years. Sent out to find the reason for this consistency, a census-taker (Sisto) finds that something much more sinister may be at hand.

On the bigscreen, Sisto is starring in Wild Bunch’s “The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things,” with Asia Argento. He recently wrapped the thriller “Unknown” alongside Jim Caviezel and Greg Kinnear for GreeneStreet Films.
